The following are the remarks OF
Governor Church in connection with his
veto OF the bill to establish the uniyer-
sity of central Dakota at Aberdeen:
do not think there is any necessity
for an institution of this kind at present.
While u is fact that that portion of the
territory within which this university
would by the term OF this act be located
has no public lnstitation, yet [ think
that would not be justified at this
time In encouraging an appropriation of
this character, believing as 1 do that
the institutions already established are
OF ample capacity to accommodate the
educational wants of the territory. The
appropriation OF $4,000 in itself may
perhaps seem of small moment to the
people interested in this measure, but
when it is borne in mind that il must me-
cessarlly be followed by an approprla-
tion for maintenance OF about $4,000
more before the institution could be
placed upon working basis, and that
each of the educational interests of the
territory are applying for large appro-
priations for the purpose of enlarging
their capacity. feel justified at this
time in calling the attention of the leg
islature to the fact that we are in great
danger of making appropriations far in
excess of the territorial income.

TIE toe Voters of Nankton.
The undersigned, acting under in
structions from the citizens committee,
submit to the electors of Yankton the
following statement of the reasons which
induced the nomination of the ticket
now before the public:
There has been for some time very
generally expressed feeling that in the
election Of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel
ing has been increased and intensified
by the evident lad results, in some
recent cases, produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. 1t is be-
lieved that intelligent men OF all parties
are unanimous in the opinion that char
acter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter
mine the selection OF officers to admin
ister our local AFFAIRS. Msnifestly there
is need, at all times, in the conduct OF
city affairs, of integrity, prudence,
sagacity and enterprise, qualities which
ere not insured in the individual
aspirant for office, by the fact
that he has large political following.
These considerations are especially for
cible at this time, when our city gov
ernment in liable to be called apon to
deal with questions of great commercial
Importance to us all. At ouch time we
can not afford to assume any risk that
the important interests of this communi.
ty may be committed to hands that are
either feeble or untrustworthy.
Acting upon these reasons, an honest
effort has been made to avoid that risk
by putting in nomination ticket, in
support of which all can unite, and
which carries upon its face the assurance
of wise and public spirited adminissra.
tion of public affairs in the ensuing
year.
